NASHVILLE, TENN, June u.-This
afteru DON Noah Cantrell, ten years
old, with three companions, went
swimming in the Cumberland, just at
the sou h IN edge of the city. Across
the river from them a number of men
az d boys were INDUCING in the pro-
miscu US uss of pistols. The bullets
commenced to fly about the vicinity
Of the Cantrell boy and his compan-
ions, and they shou'ed to the firing
party to be more careful The reply
came ia q volley fred direct at the
four boys, who ran and sought shelter
behind a log near by. Then the other
party commenced to fire directly at
the log, and as Noah Cantrall raised
his head bullet from 38 calibre
pistol struck him in the center
of the forehead. He rolled down the
bank and nearly into the water. His
compa ions shouted TO the firing par
ties to cease, ss they hsd kill d a boy.
Toe answer was continued and re-
peated iusil ade of bullets, that made
it impossible for the youu gsters to go
to the assistance of their comrsde.
Finally the wounded boy was picked
up by some men and carried home.
The bullet penetrated the brain, and
Oantrell will die. There is no ew to
the identity of the fends who did the
shooting, beyond that they were
white men.

The PedRgOgue Seducer AVID Alb
dueIOr Taken 20 Robertson Co.

ESPECIAL TO TIE APPEAL.l
NASHVILLE, TENN, June ll.-Prof.
Etherly, the pedsgoGue seducer Of
pretty Jessie BIB, was taken to Spring
field this morning ur der escort OF the
sheriff of R Ibertson county, the grand
jury there having indicted him for ab.
duction and seduction. He is held
there under $1,000 bond to answer.
There was some talk OF violence being
done him, but nothing OF the sort has
30 far occurred. Mrs. Alley, an aunt
OF the ruined girl, was seen today.
She is the only one in whom Jessie
has confided. She says that all the
circumstances point to the fact that
Etherly laid deep plot for Jessie
Bibb's ruin in order to crafty his an
ger against her gran dm0ther, who had
forbidden him to pay his attentions
to the girl. Mrs. Alley also says
that all the circumstances go
to show that Etherly one
night in December last administered
drug to Jessie for the purpose OF
exciting her passions and the next
morning returned and accomplished
her ruin. The aunt also says that
Etherly induced Jessie to come TO
Nashville by promising that he would
marry her, and after sue arrived he
refused to do 80, but proposed that
she go away until her child was born.
She at first refused, but E herly's
father and uncle used their persuasive
powers to such an extent that ehe
finally consented. During Jessie's
stay in Little Rock, Etherly sent a
friend OF his down there with money
for her. Miss Bib today entered suit
for $40 600 damages at Springfield
against Etherly for seduction.

The Presidents GIFT to the Pope,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The Post to-
morrow will print the following with re-
ference to the presidents gift to the pope:
at is learned from an official source
that President Cleveland's gift of a copy
OF the constitution of the United States to
Pope Leo XIII on the occasion of .he
golden jubilee of his ordination as a priest
was suggested indirectly by the holy
father himself. When Cardinal Gibbons
returned from Rome last summer he
brought a very cordial and congratulatory
message to President Cleveland from the
pope on the success of his administration
and well wishes for him personally. The
pope, in his interviews with Cardinal Glib
bons, expressed much satisfaction in our
constitution and of the great interest in
its operation. This suggested to the
president the character of the gift. No
letter was sent with it, but on the fly leaf
in the presidents handwriting is an in.
scription presenting the book to the pope
on the fftieth anniversary of his entry
into the priesthood
